Monkey Madness - Defense xp unavoidable?

Featured Replies

In 07 you were forced to choose small amount of def xp or large amount to finish the quest... Ruining pures. Is this still the case in the 07 server?

 

(This would also mean you can't get addy gloves at 1 def too!)

Yes, they only made that change in.... 2011 or so?

Right.. you can't get addy gloves with 1 ref.

 

You can finish the quest, just don't talk to the gnome. You won't be able to go back to the island to buy a scimmy, so you have to get it from someone else.

Ahh thanks very much for this explanation, as I could have sworn I had a scimmy pure in 08 and was confused how I managed it that early.

 

I am going to suggest they add the removal of needing to talk to the gnome into the runescape forums content polls, as it's a small thing and they seem to actually be listening and implementing these types of convenience things. I love how Jagex are handling 07 so far.

didnt they only add the option to skip getting the xp because people were using the evil trees to get on the island.

Guess what I'll be doing soon! :D

Adding evil trees? No.

 

The evil trees and geting people to the island was an untended side effect. With no evil trees, it isn't possible to get to the island without talking to him. Unless you can use fairy rings. Are there fairy rings there? I don't recall.

 

Regardless at this time, you can't bypass him to not get that xp

Can you use Ape Atoll to teleport there? Or was that another quest reward?

gotta save the monkey in RFD for ape tele, which requires you to get defense xp.

 

1 def pures can only get mith gloves. rune pures can get barrows gloves, though :D
